Efforts to save the Hyde Amendment are continuing, but now there's ANOTHER, huge battle shaping up over taxpayer funding of abortion. Congress is moving forward on a "human infrastructure" bill, which is likely to include things that many Catholics support, including expanded health care coverage. But there is serious concern that such health care proposals will include funding for elective abortion. Congressional leadership is using a rare process for this bill, known as "budget reconciliation," that requires fewer votes to pass it than most laws. That is why Congress must hear from YOU now! Tell your representatives that any health care proposals MUST NOT fund elective abortion. To learn more and send message, go to https://www.votervoice.net/USCCB/Campaigns/88118/Respond


We are participating again in Boy of Joy program. Boxes will be available for pickup starting October 9 at the back of church. See bulletin over the next few weeks with more details.



EXCESS MASS INTENTIONS

As you noticed the church bell tower has had some bricks and mortar replaced. Now we are working on sealing the whole church with liquid silicon, to help prevent moister from coming inside the church. During the bell tower renovation, there were other issues discovered with the flat roofs on church. This will be discussed at Building & Grounds meeting, in the near future. I would like to thank Curtis Richardson for making and installing the big outdoor priest chair. If you haven't had a chance to see it, it is located on the new parking lot on the west side of church. Have a blessed week, Fr. Ptak.
